What is x when 92 divided by x equals 97?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 92 and the quotient 97?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 92 ÷ 97 = 0.94845360824742

To prove this, let's compute 92 divided by 0.94845360824742: 92 0.94845360824742 = 97

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 92 divided by x gives a result of 97, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

92 x = 97

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 92 x x = 97 x
  2. 92 x x is equivalent to x x × 92 , which simplifies to 1 × 92 (or just 92 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 92 = 97 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 97: 92 97 = 97 x 97
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.94845360824742 = x (or x = 0.94845360824742 )

So, if the dividend is 92 and the quotient is 97, the divisor is 0.94845360824742.
